I'm fascinated too. Although there are rather too many villains around - Luthor and Deter! And neither Lois nor Clark understands the danger of letting Luthor or Deter get too close to Clark, and find out what neither Lois nor Clark knows right now.

I really liked how you had Lois remember the pheromone incident. Of course Clark is attracted to her! She knows that he is! So there must be a good reason for why he apparently didn't react to Miranda's perfume. I very much hope that Lois will start putting two and two together soon.

By the way, Martha has apparently decided to let Lois and Clark figure out the truth about Superman together, instead of just informing Clark of it. You have to wonder why. Is she, perhaps, trying to bring Lois and Clark closer together?
